On February 28, according to Forbes, OpenAI founder Sam Altman stated that OpenAI is in talks with the U.S. Department of Defense to reach a potential agreement on using its AI models and tools. The contract has not been signed yet. OpenAI will retain control over how technical safeguards are implemented, the deployment targets of the models, and the regions involved, limiting deployment to cloud environments rather than “edge systems.” In a military context, edge systems may include aircraft and drones. As a significant concession, the U.S. government agreed to include the “red lines” set by OpenAI in the contract terms, such as prohibiting AI from being used in autonomous weapons systems, domestic mass surveillance, and critical decision-making areas. Earlier today, Anthropic refused the Pentagon’s request to relax security restrictions, and Trump issued a strict order to ban it.
